Legitimacy and Illegitimacy of Music in Islam

Abstract

Islam is a heavenly religion that has never imposed any compulsion on basic needs of human being. No one can say that after embracing Islam, he is facing undue sanctions. Islam addresses all needs of human being with some conditions. For example, if adultery is forbidden then Marriage is allowed, Fruit and juices are useable but wine is forbidden. Travelling and recreation is possible within limitations. Same is the philosophy of Islam with music. If immoral poetry is involved with music, then it is strictly forbidden of course. Otherwise music is allowed on marriage ceremonies.
